The three most common operation modes are:
1. Parallel line in service.
2. Parallel line out of service and earthed.
3. Parallel line out of service and not earthed.
Parallel line in service
This type of application is very common and applies to all normal sub-transmission
and transmission networks.
Let us analyze what happens when a fault occurs on the parallel line see figure 84.
From symmetrical components, we can derive the impedance Z at the relay point for
normal lines without mutual coupling according to equation 41.

Where:
Uph is phase to earth voltage at the relay point.
Iph is phase current in the faulty phase.
3I0 is earth fault current.
Z1 is positive sequence impedance.
Z0 is zero sequence impedance.
